Operating Instructions

Once installed, your Shkalacar system offers several convenient features:

1. Keyless Entry (Automatic Sensor Switch Lock)

• When you approach your vehicle with the remote control handle within approximately 2 meters, the system will automatically unlock the doors.
• When you move away from your vehicle with the remote control handle, the system will automatically lock the doors.

2. Push-to-Start/Stop Engine

• To Start: With the remote control handle inside the vehicle, press the brake pedal and then press the "ENGINE START STOP" button. The engine will start.
• To Stop: With the vehicle stationary, press the brake pedal and then press the "ENGINE START STOP" button. The engine will turn off.
• Accessory Mode: Without pressing the brake, press the "ENGINE START STOP" button once for ACC mode, press again for ON mode, and a third time to turn off.

3. Remote Start/Flameout

• To Remote Start: Press and hold the remote start button on your remote control handle (refer to your remote's specific button layout). The vehicle will start and run for a preset duration (typically 10 minutes) before automatically shutting off.

• This feature is useful for pre-cooling or pre-heating your vehicle.

4. Anti-Theft and Identity Function

• The system incorporates an identity function, meaning the vehicle cannot be started normally without the presence of the authorized remote control handle.
• If an attempt is made to start the vehicle without the remote, the anti-theft system will activate.

Maintenance

The Shkalacar Keyless Entry Car Alarm System is designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:

• Remote Control Batteries: The remote control handles use CR2032 button batteries. Replace them when the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive.
• Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the main control unit and remote controls to water or excessive moisture.
• Cleanliness: Keep the components free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Professional Checks: Periodically, have your vehicle's electrical system checked by a professional, especially if you notice any unusual behavior from the system.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Shkalacar system, consider the following common solutions:

• System Not Responding:
  • Check the remote control battery.
  • Ensure the remote control is within range of the vehicle.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure (professional inspection recommended).
• Keyless Entry Not Working:
  • Ensure the remote control is present and its battery is charged.
  • Check for any obstructions or strong electromagnetic interference near the sensing antennas.
• Engine Not Starting via Push Button:
  • Confirm the remote control is inside the vehicle.
  • Ensure the brake pedal is fully depressed.
  • Check vehicle battery health.
• Remote Start Fails:
  • Verify the vehicle doors are closed and locked.
